Quirky Eval

Digitalize the Product Evaluation Experience

The Current Quirky Product Evaluation

Quirky makes invention accessible, we bring people’s ideas to life. There are thousands of ideas submitted each week, thus, the product evaluation — Eval is very important to Quirky and the whole community. Every Thursday at 7 pm, we gather a group of industry experts, friends, and community members for this live product evaluation. While, we would like to rethink the Eval experience, to create better platforms for both the community members and the Quirky admin.

Admin and Presentation Experience

The Design Process

Empathize

I started this project on the very first day at Quirky. Unfortunately, I haven’t experienced in any Quirky Eval and was very unfamiliar with the experience. I decided to immerse myself into the experience as much as I can so that I could be able to have a deep understanding.

Experience Eval both online and offline.

Examine the current admin and live stream tool.

Learn and analyze community and admin feedback.

Think about the whole system and the architecture.
